Installing the SSI Boot Image on an SSM

This section describes how to install the SSI boot image for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family 32-port Fibre
Channel Storage Services Module (SSM). The SSM supports normal Fibre Channel switching and
Intelligent Storage Services. To use Fibre Channel switching and Intelligent Storage Services, you must
install an SSI boot image on the SSM.
A newly installed SSM initially operates in Fibre Channel switching mode by default.
Note
To install the SSI boot image on an SSM, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log into the switch through the console port, an SSH session, or a Telnet session.
Step 2 Issue the dir modflash://slot-1/ command to verify that the SSI boot image file corresponding to your
Cisco MDS SAN-OS release is present on the active supervisor module. For example, if your switch is
running Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.1(2), you must have m9000-ek9-ssi-mz.2.1.2.bin in modflash: on the
SSM. To determine the correct SSI boot image to use, refer to the
Compatibility Matrix for Storage Service Interface
You can find the SSI images at the following URL:
